Bills Put Joshua Palmer on IR, Elevate Frank Gore Jr. Ahead of Wild Card vs. Jaguars

The moves signal confidence in Matt Prater's availability for Sunday.

Overview

  • Buffalo placed wide receiver Joshua Palmer on injured reserve, ending his season before the Wild Card game.
  • Running back Frank Gore Jr. was elevated from the practice squad to bolster depth with Ty Johnson listed as questionable due to an ankle injury.
  • The Bills also elevated defensive end Andre Jones Jr. and signed linebacker Baylon Spector to the 53-man roster.
  • Buffalo did not elevate kicker Matthew Wright from the practice squad, indicating the team expects Matt Prater to handle kicking duties.
  • Palmer finishes an underwhelming first year in Buffalo with 22 catches for 303 yards and no touchdowns, and Gore Jr. has yet to make his NFL regular-season debut.
